20 Illinois. First place will be at stake along with perhaps a Big Ten Tournament tiebreaker when the Fighting Illini (16-6, 8-3 Big Ten) host the Terrapins (18-4, 8-3) on Friday in the only conference game that night. Illinois will be motivated and fired-up fans will be ready for payback after Maryland rallied from a 15-point deficit to win the first meeting two months ago at home. Maryland has climbed back into the top 10 after being ranked No. They moved into a first-place tie with Illinois after they beat Rutgers on Tuesday night for their fifth straight win.
